geez, i can't stop typing! :)
anyways, i was looking into some summer bags too, but i didn't want to
spend alot of moolah for a bag that's only 40 - 55 degrees. Backpacker
magazine recently did a gear test on summer bags. I think the Western
Mountaineering "iroquois" got the best rating, but it's expensive. i
think ll bean is supposed to make a descent one too, but i sent for a
catalog, and still haven't received one. :P blah
in the mean time me and my $20 fleece blanket will manage just fine
(especially with this nasty heat - i don't even want to think about
sleeping in a bag!).
